Was just pondering if you could unionize (in a very loose way).

Come up with your own set of rules that come within google's, peer review each other to ensure that you meet your own rules - then if google pulls one of you, the rest of you walk.

Don't have to shift how google works, just present to google as a large enough mass of money that you get promoted to a service rep, rather than templated rules and emails.

There's also a benefit on the google side - that if you're a self-moderating group, what gets escalated to them is likely to be a valid issue.

Cool idea but you'd still need to have the GDP of a small nation for them to care.

I think this is a great idea. The only way to deal with power is to amass sufficient counter power of your own that ignoring you becomes more costly than dialogue.
